Sa’Ferna-ta-Fera is a book containing a transcript of many flowing conversations between an unknown scholar and the pre-Panic Carpana sage Ferna the Cunning.
It has every domain, being a conversation with one of the most knowledgeable people ever. There's a little something about everything here.
History
According to Lenore Voivode, the scholar, a bastard from the First Canton, wanted to polish the text into a dissertation, but Ferna scolded him: “On a cold night, what is more valuable: a whole blanket or one that's been unwoven? Are we not now living through a cold night?” The transcript was submitted in its original version with additional notes, and resoundingly discarded by academia. Some years later, Unschola students would distribute copies, though more out of rebellion than recognizing Ferna's insight.
The Rotundana library
Lye Lychen visited the Rotundana Library in Sapodilla looking for books about pocket dimensions and vanished gods, hoping for information that would help him to preserve and rehabilitate Aterika’Kaal, and found a copy of Sa’Ferna-ta-Fera filed as a thesis paper from an Unschola Republica mage. He showed it to Lenore, the on-duty librarian, and sat down to read it at a table. After teleporting away from the Glim Macula, Lyke kept the book in his many pockets; he told Lenore that he would return it within a week but he was lying.
The book contains mention of Aterika’Kaal itself, though not with any new information for Lyke or us. More pertinently to Lyke's research, he found a section discussing that gods are like pine trees, or negligibly senescent: if given the right environment and fuel, they can grow and age forever. They will grow for as big of a container as you build for them: Ferna jokes, “If you ever find yourself dealing with a god, make sure you put it in a little box first.”
